US is taking the wreckage back. China: Why you are always ready to serve others? Pakistan never built helicopter except the gyro-copter.

pakistan builds jf-17 thunder and you are posting bharati cheap sarcasm that pakistan doesnt build helicopters

what have you indians build out of the tax money of one billion people??, arjunk??, lca plane?? which cant even fly and its called fighter when it can even fight, your cheap sarcasm are only for your low iqed countrymen

PA is best army in world , which defeated USSR and Indian joint venture in Afghanistan
It was the Afghanis who defeated U.S.S.R with the help of money,training and weapons from mighty U.S.A,pakistan,saudi etc were merely puppet states used by U.S .And btw india was not involved in that war.
This was joint operation that is why it was successful.
.

Wasn't it utter incompetence of mighty pakistani intentillegence that it failed to locate osama who was living right under their nose?And it was not a joint operation-pak military was not informed of the mission(both pakistan and U.S have asserted that fact).May be that was the reason the mission was successfull.
 
.
Pakistan's air defense system was not working when U.S. helicopters entered Pakistan?? or they used some sort of stealth tech like stealth helos?:usflag:

nothing of that sort .. they just came in unpoosed and went away un oposed after destroying one of their own helicopters and killing some people in a compund in abbotababd .. one of those killed had a water pistol and allegedly there was also bin laden who was killed.

there is is nothing more to it .. it was all pre-decided and pre-arranged
 
.
by reading your posts, i realize, you are crying at every body, please try to think logically then just sentimentally

Trust me on this, I am more amused and embarrassed than emotional at this stage.

The only people who are emotional are those savages who support Osama and people within our establishment.

Look at this event realistically and see the implications of it for this country.

Either the PA/ISI is highly incompetent or it was helping a dreaded terrorist, one who is responsible for killing so many Pakistani's alone.

We have to revise the national get up and to begin with, this failed institute called PA must be disbanded.

This country and its people have sacrificed and suffered a lot to raise this army and look what it has done today.

It has continuously damaged Pakistan and it still doesn't have the shame to be clear to the people of this nation.

Its time to put an end to all this nonsense.
 
.
Compare apple with apple , US has latest technology what you have is outdated .

Nations always learn from mistakes , dont lose heart just wake up !

Think about the entire situation for a second there, will you?

Even if the Americans used blind spots to enter Abbotabad and jammed our radars, as soon as their mission started, the noise of it all must have alerted our army and it would should have taken 10 mins to reach the location and engage or hold the Americans. However, nothing seemed to have happened and it all just happened smoothly without any hesitation.

However the bigger question is, why was Osama in that town, near Kakul and in a garrison town.

This is not a mistake, its a failure of our security establishment on multiple levels.

They were either helping a terrorist or they are completely incompetent.

They failed to stop an incursion deep into this so called 'sovereign' nation.

This is the same army which hogs up billions of dollars while people are dying in the streets.

Time to pack up and finish this.

Osama Bin Laden dead: Pakistanis burn US flags as backlash grows | Mail Online

First the tears, now the anger: Pakistanis burn U.S. flags as backlash over Bin Laden's death grows

These were the angry scenes across Pakistan today as Muslims staged protests against the killing of Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.

Hundreds of people marched through Multan, burning U.S. flags and waving placards as they warned the terrorist's death could produce many more radical figures to take his place.

It comes after crowds of weeping mourners were pictured offering funeral prayers for the Al Qaeda mastermind widely blamed for thousands of deaths at 9/11.

Threatening: Demonstrators claimed that the killing of Bin Laden would produce many more terrorists to take his place

They will heap further pressure on the British government to justify the £650million aid package sent to a country where so many appear to hate us.

Only today Lashkar-e-Taiba - the militants behind the Mumbai terror attack - said Bin Laden's 'martyrdom' would not be in vain.

David Cameron has insisted it is in Britain's national interest to continue to co-operate with Pakistan in the fight against terrorism as debate intensified over a £650m aid package handed the country just weeks ago.

The Prime Minister said there were 'searching questions' for the Pakistani government to answer after U.S. special forces tracked down the Al Qaeda leader to a large villa complex close to the country's leading military academy.

Tears for a terrorist: Supporters of the religious party Jamatut Dawa weep while offering funeral prayers for Bin Laden in Karachi

Mourning: Supporters of Jamatut Dawa unite in prayers in Karachi. Prayer sessions were held across Pakistan for Bin Laden

He said the terrorist leader's ability to live in a large house there showed he had an 'extensive support network' in the country and it was right to ask 'searching questions' about that.

But in a statement to MPs, he stressed that Pakistan had suffered more at the hands of terrorism than any other nation.

'I believe it is in Britain's national interest to recognise that we share the same struggle against terrorism,' he said. 'That's why we will continue to work with our Pakistani counterparts on intelligence gathering, tracing plots and taking action to stop them.'

He acknowledged however the disclosure that Bin Laden had been living in a large house in the town of Abbottabad, 60 miles from the capital Islamabad, suggested he had a support network in the country.

'We don't know the extent of that network so it is right that we ask searching questions about it and we will,' he said.

‘Of course there are frustrations and questions that will be asked about who knew what in Pakistan and how could this man live in such a large house in such a comfortable-looking community so close to military installations.

In Westminster, politicians of all parties also expressed disbelief at denials from the country’s authorities that anyone knew Bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad.

Tory Party chairman Baroness Warsi said: ‘I don’t think we can say that absolutely nobody, informally or formally, in Pakistan knew that Osama Bin Laden was there.’

Labour MP Paul Flynn said there had been ‘six years of treachery by powerful people in Pakistan’.

Mr Cameron sought to use the disclosure that bin Laden had apparently spent years living in comfort to debunk the 'myth' of the Al Qaeda leader as a brave guerrilla fighter.

'The myth of Bin Laden was one of a freedom fighter, living in austerity and risking his life for the cause as he moved around in the hills and mountainous caverns of the tribal areas,' he said.

'The reality of Bin Laden was very different - a man who encouraged others to make the ultimate sacrifice while he himself hid in the comfort of a large, expensive villa in Pakistan, experiencing none of the hardship he expected his supporters to endure.'

Mr Cameron sparked a diplomatic row last year by accusing Pakistan of 'looking both ways' on terrorism. But today he strongly defended the country's stance on stamping it out.

He said: 'As far as they were concerned, Bin Laden was a foreigner who had no business being in Pakistan, who brought nothing but misery to their country.'

He added: 'If we turn away from them and give up on them and say "This is all too difficult and complicated because we don't always get what we want", you are left with a nuclear power in danger of massive extremism and massive instability.'

‘What we do know is we should do everything we can to support the democrats in Pakistan who want the entire country to face the same way . . . and combat terrorism in every way.’

His intervention came amid fresh questions over Britain's huge aid fund to the country where the Al Qaeda leader was found.

The Prime Minister prompted dismay when he announced last month that Britain would pour £650million into Pakistani education.

As special prayer sessions for Bin Laden were held in towns and cities across Pakistan, a spokesman for Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant group behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks described the fallen terrorist as a 'great person'.

Yahya Mujahid, spokesman for the leader Mohammad Saeed, said: 'Martyrdoms are not losses, but are a matter of pride for Muslims.

'Osama bin Laden has rendered great sacrifices for Islam and Muslims, and these will always be remembered.'

Amidst shouts of 'Down with America" and 'Down with Obama', around 1,000 of Saeed's followers held prayers in Pakistan's largest city of Karachi.

LeT, one of the largest and best-funded Islamist militant organisations in South Asia, is blamed for the November 2008 assault on Mumbai, which killed 166 people in India's commercial hub.

Its founder, Saeed, now heads an Islamic charity, a group the United Nations says is a front for the militant group.

Today Tory MP Philip Davies said the discovery of the terror chief in Pakistan had reinforced his view that Britain should not be giving money to them.

He told Mail Online: 'It seems to me that there are certainly some questions about how much Pakistani security forces knew about the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden.

'Why on earth we would want to be giving billions of pounds to them when there are suspicions they knew about Osama bin Laden's whereabouts for years, God only knows. It is not a country I think we should be giving money to.'

The huge cash injection for schools by the Department of International Development makes Pakistan the UK's biggest recipient of overseas aid.

International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell said: 'British aid to Pakistan is not just aid from Britain, but also aid for Britain. It is in Britain’s national interest to help tackle the root causes of extremism such as poverty, inequality and lack of education.

'Thanks to British taxpayers, another four million children will be educated over the next four years in Pakistan. If you are a child in Karachi, your chance of getting an education is currently worse than in any other city in the world.'

Mr Cameron also pledged to give the country highly sensitive military technology to combat roadside bombs.

Pakistan has repeatedly denied having any links to Al Qaeda, and reacted furiously when the Prime Minister accused it of ‘looking both ways’ on terrorism last year.

A year ago it also vehemently rejected suggestions the some officials may be harbouring Bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar.

Today, president Asif Ali Zardari insisted it had not given the Al Qaeda chief any protection - dismissing claims otherwise as 'baseless speculation'

'Pakistan had as much reason to despise Al Qaeda as any nation. The war on terrorism is as much Pakistan's war as it is America's,' he said.

He conceded the assassination was not a joint operation between his military and the Americans but said it was based on a decade of co-operation and partnership.

The US had been worried about Pakistani intelligence leaking details of the raid and Bin Laden being tipped off so did not seek permission.

Pakistani officials were only told once the U.S. Navy Seals had recovered the terrorist's body and left the country's airspace.

Pakistan even scrambled its air force to intercept the helicopters but they did not arrive in time to disrupt them.

White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan said: 'It is inconceivable that Bin Laden did not have a support system in the country that allowed him to remain there for extended period of time.

'We are going to pursue all leads to find out what kind of support system and benefactors that bin Laden might have had.'

Asked if he felt uneasy about the killing, Mr Cameron said he was satisfied that the operation was aimed at capturing the Al Qaeda leader - but with lethal force allowed if necessary.

'I don't think it is an eye for an eye. This man was responsible for literally thousands of deaths. The world is incomparably a better place without him in it,' he said.

'I think the operation was completely justified, lawful and right. We have to be very vigilant, particularly in the short term, because there will be dangers of reprisals from other parts of Al Qaeda or lone-wolf operators. But it is definitely a massive step forward in breaking the back of Al Qaeda and in defeating this terrorist network.'

I know indians are very keen that the afghan occupation continues but the american public is not , there was an article in CNN written by Wesley Clark about three reasons that the war in afghansitan should go on and there was a string of comments from US citizen that simply dont want to be be there anymore.

Come on Bro. Since when is the policy contingent to the public approval on a website? Let us be real on this and see the benefits that matter. Afganistan as it stabilises and remains under permanent US influence is a great market in the making for the great old commercial engine of US. And they will not gift another market to China on a platter you know that. And strategically it is too good to leave. You anyway will acknowledge that. But anyway why speculate. We will see things rolling our in next years anyway. Regarding Pakistan, it has gone from a position of strength to the knees due to this impactful public raid. The only loser in the whole deal is the Pakistani army's credibility. If you will notice, the effort is to alienate the civilian government from the army. None of the tough questions are directed to the civilians. Army is in the dock though.
 
.
I tend to agree with T-Faz.

What perplexes me is that how could a fugitive like OBL live in a military cantonment and none knew about the same for over 05 years!

We subcontinental chaps are great ones to gossip and so it is surprising that for 05v years none knew or even had a doubt

How is it that a foreign country capable of avoiding detection to hit a target within Pakistan?

Let us say the radars were jammed, it would have alarmed the Radar networking centre for Pakistan and people would have been alerted by this unnatural phenomemon. And if the radar jamming was in a specific route and area, such areas would be alerted.

Either the Pakistani establishment was in the know or there is something seriously wrong.

I was catching up with an old friend of mine yesterday and he cracked a rather hilarious joke.

"Pakistan mein koi bhi safe nahin hai ,osama bhi nahin .Lekin bharat main sab safe hai ,Kasab bhi"

pls take the joke in right spirits.no offence intended.
 
.
don't care that Osama is alive.dead what I do scrutinise & am still doing it is the failure of ISI; plus the director of CIA the disgruntled Petraeus anti-Pakistani feelings can play havoc with us. I can realise that drone attacks now will appear much LEGITIMISED with respect to international community...your thoughts

Probably there are 50-50 chances in increasing drones. Of course they will concentrate over ISI capabilities & PA, but their relaxation can be used to prepare for counter reply. They were anti-Pakistan and they are, but what main thing is their style of operation which need to give strong reply back.

Why did the US come to Afghanistan?

To kill Obama?

if that was so, they could have done the same as they have done at Abbotabad.

If they were to destroy AQ, then the job is still unfinished.


The conservative lobby in the US wants Obama to be discredited. The reason is not hard to find.

Therefore, what could be better than have the US leave and have the whole roadshow of the Taliban giving an encore!

And then the conservatives would go gung ho to devastate Obama for being a real chump and unfit to be the US President!!
So, why did they waste their money, time, men and effort in Afghanistan?
 
.
I don't know why people are fixated on seeing his death pictures. Common folks he's dead. Whitehouse isn't going to pull a con this big and then a living Osama emerging from somewhere. they'd look like total -clowns. That's Pak political and top military brass' domain not the Whitehouse and Obama. On another note maybe Obama admin can invite some senior journalists, tv anchors and show them the pictures and videos, so they can report to the world that yes, there are gruesome pictures of OBL.

i'm sorry to burst your bubble mate! they pulled the same "category" of con in the shape of WMDs.. later they "regretfully" apologised.. what happened next? was any body put on trial for war crimes?.. open your eyes.. take out your head from the place where sun doesn't shine..
 
.
yeah thats why we contunue to keep the americans involved and give them a cookie when they are really crying and whining.

I like your optimism my friend. But prudence is to call a spade a spade. The sooner sets in the realization, the earlier is the movement on the remedial path. Pakistan was and is being played all the years by its army in the quest of the total supremacy that it seeks. World, whether it be US or China has only taken advantage of the fact. This blind quest of some sort of quixotic supremacy by the army has in its course put the existence of the whole nation on the sword.

And it still continues till the educated like you do not smell the coffee. It is good to love your nation. It is a very proud attribute however, you really need to love your nation in the true sense and need to look through the bullshit that is being fed to you. Support your civilian government. Improve your choices and make it work better. Only that is the lasting solution to the growth of the country and society that you can be proud of.

Look at it this way, even if you would support your army's support to some sort of wierd idea of strategic depth, what does the aam aadmi get? Nothing improves. The improvement in everyday life and infrastructure and every aspect of a qualitative life will occur only with a better economy which will in no way happen via the attitude of your army which is holding a gun to its own head and thinking that everyone will comply.

T-Faz.. i am really amazed at how freely and bluntly you question the integrity of PA, ISI and other intelligence agencies..

I think they are taking the right direction.. its a case of someone shouting at bigger loud speaker..

However, the questions are (which are supposed to be asked)

Why is the US account of operation changes every hour? Why are they not showing "gruesome" pictures of OBL when the other 3 are already everywhere and they are gruesome on the same level, if not more? Why are you so ashamed to ask these questions to US when their own media along with International media is asking these questions?

As far as you questions are concerned.. lets calmly analyse, shall we? (i'm a systems analyst by profession, thats the reason its difficult for me to digest)

1. It is a lie that PA was not aware of them coming in and going out.. the only mistake which PA made was to "allow" them to come in.. PA was not aware that the "hidden agenda" is to frame the integrity of Pakistan.. It is a lapse from planners and "counter" planners.. US here is one up.. PA never expected that they are going to claim that "they killed OBL" just because OBL was not there..

2. As i said, OBL was not there, yeah might be his family, but he was not there.. and as far his family is concerned, his brothers, sisters and elders sons have been living in western countries on and off.. so that also doesn't prove anything...

3. They were not suppose to stop that "incursion" just because it was NOT an incursion..

4. Agreed.. but i would say.. thats not army's fault.. Govt. needs to increase the income and internal security.. thats not army's responsibility

5. Based on what i said above.. this is what the whole world wants.. but is not in favor of Pakistan..

Hope you'll stop.. analyse.. examine.. and then judge..
